    Hi @Grav_electric I recommend people use my new feature "Text". You can get it here:

    You can draw a path or a curve on any surface and then distribute text along it as needed. It has a number of manipulators to make text orientation and position easy to adjust: you can read about it here:

    The newest release 3 adds kerning control and a few other useful controls:

    And it all works on surfaces as well:
